And, in fact, we were getting spammed pretty heavily until the blocking
solution was put in place last summer. See the mailing list archives.
We've been mostly spam-free since then, though.
I for one would object to any thought of taking out the block. The
loopback list seems to me to solve any problems that legitimate users
would have ...
